Nicola.

A joint venture between Osmotex AG and Myant, focused on integrating electrochemical moisture and liquid management technology into Myant’s portfolio of textile computing, which has received over $100 million in investment.

• I coordinated the technical development of electroosmotic and microfluidic systems, from concept to prototype.
• Planned and monitored project progress, aligning engineering deliverables with technical and regulatory requirements within Innosuisse-funded innovation frameworks.
• Managed feasibility studies, supplier qualification, and component testing, ensuring alignment between mechanical, electronic, and process interfaces.
• Applied Six Sigma principles and structured problem-solving to improve process reproducibility and product reliability.

Founded in 2008, Osmotex is a research and development company dedicated to electroosmotic vapour and fluid transport.

• I led cross-functional engineering projects integrating fluid management technologies into textile-based systems (embedded components).
• Defined and managed technical requirements, acceptance criteria and validation protocols for technology readiness level transitions.
• Coordinated international suppliers and R&D partners to ensure compliance with performance and quality standards and achieve delivery milestones on schedule.
• Implemented risk analysis and change control processes to enhance the reliability and scalability of the product line.
• Supported budget control, KPI tracking, and process documentation for manufacturing transfer.

KOMP-ACT designs compact and high-performing actuators for the manufacturing industry.

• Designed a long-term autonomous monitoring system for product reliability.
• Automated data acquisition reducing the need for manual intervention.
• Prevented positioning errors in the microcontroller to enhance measurement precision.

The Sutterfella Lab is located at the former Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis.

• I conducted studies on the accelerated degradation of perovskite solar cells.
• Implemented automation using LabVIEW, improving experimental throughput by 700%.
• Streamlined multimodal research data for Cyclotron research project on perovskite formation, involving x-ray imaging, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and thermal imaging.
